HOW NICK VUJICIC MADE MY DREAM COME TR UE http://www.chinkeetan.com/
TAN by CHINKEE
I
t all started when I saw him on YouTube. I sometimes use Nick Vujicic’s videos to inspire people and to prove that no matter what happens in life, we should not make excuses. If a person with out limbs—arms, and legs—can make himself useful, how much more an ordinary person, with full use of his body? Because of his influence and inspiration, I’ve been praying that Nick Vujicic would come to the Philippines. Then came that fateful day when I was invited by Francis Kong to guest at his speaking engagement at SMX and I saw a banner of Nick coming in. When I saw that banner announcing his visit to Manila, I was really excited to buy a ticket. I was willing to pay whatever it cost! A week after, I suddenly received a call from Becca Music. They asked to set an appointment because they wanted to invite me to be a part of the Nick Vujicic event. When they said that, it was a dream come true! Actually when they first invited me I told them, “Hmmmmmmm…. Let me check my schedule if I’m available. Surely, I did not say that! I was just kidding.” I would move out all my schedules just to be present at Nick’s event!
Becca Music asked me to do two events for Nick Vujicic: first was to host a private dinner for a selected handful of 200 people, and second is to speak as his front act for the May 20 event at Smart Araneta Coliseum. I was very excited! God is so good to grant me the opportunity. When Nick arrived in Manila, it was a media frenzy. He was being sought out by major news network for an interview even for a few minutes but because of his hectic schedule it was nearly impossible. A day before the private dinner, I received a notice that there was a sudden change of plan. They said my job will not only be to host now, but also to interview Nick because the original interviewer fell sick. I interviewed Nick for almost an hour. I know that this is God who opened this window of opportunity for me. It was a surreal, life-changing moment for me. I got to ask him questions that I have been longing to ask. After the interview, Nick helped me realize that many of us may be physically complete, but some of us are mentally and emotionally handicapped. When the 20th came, our call time was at 5pm. When I arrived at Smart Araneta through the back entrance. I was reminded of the time, when I was doing “Hawi” duties for my singer friend Randy Santiago. But this time, it was different, when I went down from my van. There was escort who gave me a an ID. When I passed through the holding room and this is what I saw. Nick-Vujicic-Unstoppable-and-Chinkee-TanLocker-Room I felt that I was like my friend Randy Santiago, who was about to give the great-
est show in his life. Goose bumps then started to run all over my body and I was a little nervous. I can still remember when I asked Randy “Don’t you get nervous performing in front of a big crowd?” Randy replied “Just remember to have fun and go out and entertain your audience.” That was a great reminder but I was also reminded that apart from God I am nothing. It was God who gave me the ability and I can only do great things through Christ who strenghtens me. When my name was called over 20,000 people flocked to Smart Araneta
Coliseum. They were all excited like me; I was just as excited. Though I was doing the front act, I was also just a Nick Vujicic fan, raring to hear what he had to say. It was a privilege to be able to inspire so many people during my front act. I talked about the power of our dreams. Do you have a dream? Maybe a dream house, car, or vacation. The problem with dreams is it usually remains just a dream because we think big money is what will make it come true. And most of us don’t have that.
It’s actually not our income that’s the keeping us, but our mindsets. We need to keep believing in our dream for it to become reality. We should never let anyone steal our dreams— yes, I’m talking about your “nega” friends—and feed and grow our faith. Read books and attend seminars that will cultivate your dream! Honestly, I didn’t think I would ever get to share the stage with Nick Vujicic, a world-famous motivational speaker. It was a dream. But look, it happened! After the Nick’s major
event, I was so happy to be given an opportunity to take a photo with him together with my entire family. I ended that night thanking and praising God for granting me that rare opportunity to be part of Nick Vujicic’s event.

new Globe experience as a paradigm shift for telecommunication companies. He also made it to the point that Globe Gen3 Stores’ functionality is important. He said that retail is one touch point where brands build relationships and sell products and services. It is important today to have a place to demonstrate what one stand for. “More than 50% of the reason why someone engages with a brand comes from word of mouth. Interestingly, 80% of word of mouth comes from direct experience. Designing the experience is critical to building brand advocates,” he shared during one of his visitations in the Philippines. Tim Kobe described the store as a place having dynamic space and it changes with new stories and experiences that support different events and moment. “We have elements that move
and reconfigure, the way entertainment venues support great concert or shows,” Tim Kobe shared. Globe is set to convert more of its existing stores into Gen3 stores by 2015. Prior to the launch of Gen3 stores in Manila and CDO, Globe partnered with homegrown Filipino artists led by multi-awarded artist Ross Capili, in order to turn their design inspirations into live art galleries, showcase’ company’s brilliant visions through mural paintings that complements the looks and experience Gen3 stores will be providing.
Centrio Cinema passes. Meanwhile, Christmas Art entries are a free form type of construction with at least 20 percent of the entire assembly made from upcycled materials. There are three themes participants can choose from: Simbang Gabi, Pagpanaygon and Manito-Manita. Use of loudspeakers, aplifiers or other audio systems is not allowed. Mechanical or moving parts of the assembly are allowed. Also, amterials such as candles, gas lamps and other similar items is strictly prohibited though the use of weatherproof materials is highly encouraged from the participants. Wi n n e r s w e r e a n nounced yesterday: first place – P40,000, second place – P30,000, third place – P20,000 and ten consolation special awards of P2,000 plus P10,000 for the Texters Choice Award.
The Globe Gen3 store is also the venue for promotions of Globe’s latest products, devices and services. For one, Globe will be the first retailer in Asia to introduce and carry Google Cardboard, the fold-yourown virtual reality headset. The Globe Gen3 stores are designed by Tim Kobe, founder and CEO of Eight, Inc. and designer of famous Apple Store and Nike popup stores in New York. The Globe Gen3 store in CDO is designed in way that will bring Globe closer to its consumers. In it are armatures for information, series of movable elements suspended from the ceiling that moves across the space. Everything could also be reconfigured. Kobe’s idea is to create windows into what technology can do. Tim Kobe viewed the

IN this Yule season, it cannot be denied that there are lots of food around. And there are sweets served in these events. Sweets can be both good and bad. So we must be careful with our sweet diet this Christmas season. For instance, there are some sweet snacks that are under 80 calories and these are the following: sweet wasabi trail mix, honey butter popcorn, frozen yogurt, strawberry feta salad, salted chocolate wedges, barbecuestyle sweet fries and margarita on the rocks. The sweetest of sweets is candy. Candy comes in various forms. There’s liquorice, baasha, kompeito, hard candy, chikki, gummy
bears, jelly beans, pantteri and of course, there’s the eternally known chocolate. Because of its uniqueness, chocolate is sometimes treated as a separate branch of confectionery. And then as a sub-group, chocolate is classified into the following: unsweetened baking chocolate which contains no sugar, bittersweet or what is dubbed as dark chocolate and white chocolate which ironically doesn’t contain any cocoa at all. After fermentation, cacao beans are dried, cleaned and roasted. The shell is removed to produce cacao nibs which are then ground to cocoa mass which is what is pure chocolate in rough form.

Because cocoa mass is usually liquiefied before being modeled with or without other ingredients, it is called chocolate liquor. The liquor is processed into two components: cocoa solids and cocoa butter. Unsweetened backing chocolate contains primarily cocoa solids and cocoa butter in varying proportions. Of course, chocolate has its upside. It helps in the circulation of the body. It reduces blood pressure. It boosts cognitive abilities. It is a cough preventor. It is anti-diarrheal. But it also increases the risk of obesity. It may cause osteoporosis. But most importantly, eating chocolate and other sweet food will
ultimately lead to diabetes due to overconsumption or in our day-to-day lives, what we may call as unguarded consumption. One teaspoon of sugar alone contains 15 calories. Over time, these extra calories can lead to unhealthy weight gain. Soda consumption in particular plays major role in the overweight and obesity epidemic, a 2006 study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Also take note that soda and other sugary foods don’t supply protein or fiber which means they don’t fill you up and satisfy your hunger. This make it more likely that you’ll overeat, increasing your overall calorie intake which will

lead to weight gain. Gaining too much weight by eating sugary foods then increases your risk of hypertension and diabetes. So this Christmas season, let us all guard our diet from unwanted sweets and try the following alternatives. Opt for dried fruit which contains far fewer calories and grams of sugar and has the added benefit of Vitamin C, dietary fiber and other minerals. You may want to mix dried wild blueberries or cranberries with nuts to add protein. And there’s yogurt and honey. Yogurt is packed with protein while honey contains antioxidants and possesses antimicrobial properties. Bananas – these are a
